Access Living’s building, opened in 2007, serves as a model for universal and green design.
Our building exemplifies our work and mission. It was designed and built with the needs of people with disabilities in mind. After years of planning and a four-year fundraising campaign, it opened in 2007. It is one of the first examples of universal design — accessible to all — and green design — environmentally friendly — built in the United States.
The project was led by LCM Architects and architect Jack Catlin, who uses a wheelchair himself.
The walls feature artwork by dozens of artists with disabilities, along with photographs capturing pivotal moments in the disability rights movement.
Our building hosts meetings, public forums, hearings, symposiums, trainings, and other events to raise awareness of disability culture. Visitors come to see how a barrier-free office space functions or to participate in disability advocacy groups and arts and cultural events. In addition to local visitors, hundreds from across the country and around the world have toured Access Living.
Currently, public tours are not available; however, private tours may be arranged on a case-by-case basis. To inquire about scheduling a private tour, please contact Bridget Hayman via email.
